Hello,

 

have you tried google home page, language tools. I find it useful, you type in what you want in English, then select language you want translated into, hay presto

www.schoolslinks.co.uk has a section of dual language words that may be of use to you

You've just made my easter holiday! I've been getting oh so stressed about the whole language issue and made it much bigger than I should and you've just flicked on the switch in my head. I feel really inspired now!

The newbury site is wonderful; they've put so much work into it.

I'm going to try to make some resources for our supermarket/rainbows/minibeasts/castles for when we go back. I promise to put them on to share.
